<h4><a id="sthref29" name="sthref29"></a>JDBC Resources</h4>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>A Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) resource (data source) provides applications with the means of connecting to a database. Typically, the administrator creates a JDBC resource for each database accessed by the applications deployed in a domain; however, more than one JDBC resource can be created for a database.</p>
<p>Applications get a database connection from a connection pool by looking up a data source on the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API tree and then requesting a connection. The connection pool associated with the data source provides the connection to the application.</p>
<p>Use the JDBC Resources page to configure JDBC resources.</p>
<p>For each resource, the following information is provided.</p>
<dl>
<dt>JNDI Name</dt>
<dd>
<p>A unique name that identifies the JDBC resource.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Logical JNDI Name</dt>
<dd>
<p>The logical JNDI name for the resource. See <a href="../../../common/en/help/ref-logicaljndinames.html">Logical JNDI Names</a> for more information.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Enabled</dt>
<dd>
<p>(This column is displayed if only the default server instance, <code>server</code>, exists in the domain.)</p>
<p>A check mark if the resource is enabled, or an X if the resource is disabled.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Status</dt>
<dd>
<p>(This column is displayed if any clusters or standalone instances have been created in the domain.)</p>
<p>The number of clusters and standalone instances to which the resource is targeted and how many of these targets the resource is enabled on. For example, "Enabled on 2 of 4 Target(s)" means that the resource is targeted to four clusters and standalone instances and that it is enabled on two of these four targets.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Connection Pool</dt>
<dd>
<p>The JDBC connection pool associated with the resource.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>
<p>A short description of the resource.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The Resources table also contains the following options.</p>
<dl>
<dt>New</dt>
<dd>
<p>Button to create a new resource.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Delete</dt>
<dd>
<p>Button to delete one or more selected resources.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Enable</dt>
<dd>
<p>Button to enable one or more selected resources.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Disable</dt>
<dd>
<p>Button to disable one or more selected resources.</p>
</dd>
